What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.
Qualified parameters, not just powder
Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
A-Powder CoCr (CoCrMo) is Additive Plus’s own-brand cobalt-chromium-molybdenum superalloy for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF): outstanding wear and corrosion resistance, high strength at temperature and excellent biocompatibility — the same industrial quality at an accessible price.
Why teams buy A-Powder from Additive Plus
- Additive Plus’s own A-Powder line — the same industrial AM-powder quality at an accessible, published price.
- Gas-atomized for high sphericity, low oxygen and consistent flow.
- Available in small, workable volumes — no large mill minimums.
- Full COA with every lot — PSD, chemistry, apparent density and flow rate, with a traceable lot number.
- Fast dispatch from Los Angeles. Need a tighter cut or a custom quantity? Just ask.

Unedited feedback from customers who reorder A-Powder Cobalt Chrome Powder (CoCrMo) for Metal 3D Printing | LPBF Compatible – 10 kg / 22 lbs.
Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.
Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.
COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
